Friends to enemies, enemies to friends

Is it possible to change your status with another settler back from enemy to friend?
Or is it a one way trip?

You can usually negotiate, but it's also just not worth the effort, once they are an enemy it's easier to just wipe them out. Everything gets reset with each new city anyway. You either make alliances or kill them all, if you aren't close to making an alliance, killing is faster.

I was wondering about changing your status with a settler inside your own colony.

I'm thinking I became hated with a couple because of the random "kill their zombie-fied loved one " event.

Does your status with a settler in your own colony ever change to positive once it's gone negative?

I haven't played for a while, and wonder whether it's tied to happiness, or just hating your character.

Happiness should be changeable, with things they like, like hanging out (working) with friends, fireworks, having a pet,... will now and then add some notification mentioning it, with a value of how much their happiness was increased. (Mind, being unhappy and lonely on a task they have no skill in can drive a survivor to lose their superstition faith. Might take a while, but it's convenient to rid them off beliefs you disagree with.)

Hating your character, as in being in the list of relationships with 3 other settlers, but as an enemy, -should- at least be possible to get dropped out of the list by having others take your place. Have him hang out with 3 other settlers until they make up the entire list.

for, positive or negative. All of that changes with time.

Happiness is a total, you can look and read each persons list of thoughts. The relationship display is only relevant to who they have the strongest feelings towards, positive or negative. All of that changes with time.

Even so, it's usually best to just pull them away and do nothing with the zombie, it will wander off and no one cares

Just another heads up about another zombie related event, whenever Gustov offers the zombie circus either say no or pay the twenty food for the whole fort because this event is a very quick method of pissing people off fast.
